<the solar panels have a life span of no more than 10 to 15 years> They must have bought low-bid panels from a second or third-Tier manufacturer. Buy quality, from a company that's been around awhile, and you get a 25 year warranty.

<but the solar panels have a life span of no more than 10 to 15 years> The WSJ article you excerpted simply has it wrong. The 10 to 15 years referenced must be to some type of manufacturer warranty. Even if it were true, with the glut of excellent solar panels on the market today that would last 25 years, and that are very competitively priced, you'd have to have your head examined to buy solar panels that only lasted the significantly shorter period of time.
